Method

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line 12 bun tins with paper cases. Put the flour, sugar, spice, butter, eggs and milk into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk or wooden spoon for 2-3 mins, until the mix is light and fluffy.

Put a spoonful of cake mix in each case, then a rounded tsp of mincemeat. Cover the mincemeat with a spoonful of cake mix and smooth.

Bake for 15-18 mins until golden brown and firm. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm or cold.

I made these buns two days ago. I got my shopping list a bit wrong, so used dark muscavado sugar, margarine and nutmeg! Despite these chages they still turned out lovely and delicious. The mince meat in the middle makes them lovely and moist. I've only got two of the 12 i made left, so i am going to have to make a second batch soon. These are great for guests visiting over christmas.

Made these last nite simple to make and tasted lovely hubby and 18 yr son loved them wot more can i say lol made 24 buns in all just added sweet mixed spice instead of wot recipe states made a world of difference will def make again not just for christmas.

Yum! Just made these, helped by my 4 year old daughter, and we loved them. We will definitely be making these again for our Christmas party on Saturday -maybe adding a bit more mincemeat this time.....
